Teledyne Laars Series II heater gas valve

I have a Teledyne Laars Series II pool heater - model ESC400N, that needs a new gas valve. I ordered one & received wrong one (does not even look like mine). I called Jandy who bought Teledyne out and they told me to use valve VR8304H4255 (my valve is VR8304H4230 which may be obselete). I checked a honeywell site & cross referenced my number to VR8304H4503. Does anyone know if both of these are the same valve and have the same specs? Which one is the right one to order?

SpaCap Hot Tub Cover - Review

:thumbup: I responded to a post a while back saying that I had ordered one of these and was asked to give my feedback once I had it for a little while. First off, it's hard to find much information on it besides what is already on the website. I took a look at the testimonials that are there and noticed that one of them had listed first and last name of someone, and their state of residence. I decided to try to track the guy down and call him. I talked to the guy for about 20 minutes and he gave me a good recomendation. Basically I was looking to see if there were any issues with his cover. He had it for a year and hasn't had any. He's apparently in no way affiliated with ******.com also. Anything that I could find online about these covers that was negative, was from people that haven't tried it and were skeptical. Something about the air not being a good insulator. What is between the pockets in foam, or styrafoam.....Air???? So anyway, I received mine about a week after I talked to the guy...altogether, it took almost 5 weeks from the time I ordered it. It was custom made to fit my tub. It was exactly what I expected, but much much different than a foam cover. I filled the tub with water, then filled the cover with air, laid it in place and that was it. I let the spa heat up, then installed the hooks to keep the cover in place. All in all, it was pretty simple. I filled mine up with air enough so that I have a slight dome affect. When the rain hits it, it runs right off. The snow will at first melt, but eventually will build up a little, but never causes an air leak through the seal. The cool think about this cover, is since it lays on the water, if forms a seal around the inside edge of your spa, i.e. on the acryllic. Then the top half of the cover lays over the outside edge of the top of the spa. So far, my spa runs significantly less than it used to with the old foam cover. It is soooo much easier to get on and off than the old cover. I did not have a cover lift. The inner part to the cover is like a rubber raft, one that would be used for whitewater rafting. The exterior, at least on mine, it like an umbrella, thus the Sunbrella material that they use. So far I am very happy with the purchase. A new foam cover is slightly less, but my original cover didn't even last me 2 years. I thought it worth the risk to spend a little more for ease of use and something that will last longer. It won't collect water and get water logged. Post responses if you have any questions.Read More

Blisters or bubbles in the shell

I have a approx. 5-8 year old hot tub and after the last empty/cleaning noticed some blisters/bubbles in the shell that I have not noticed before. Does this mean the shell is going bad or did I just not notice them before?Read More
